Tenant - Tenant in Public Housing

[marlenal]

I live in an apartment through Metropolitan Housing in Ohio. I have a neighbor who has been at her residence next door to me for about a year and a half now. I have just moved in six months ago. Anyway, there are six parking spaces outside in front of the six adjoined apartments. None are numbered or indicate that any certain one is for any tenant. The problem is the spot closest to her apartment (the first from the right looking out to the street) i guess she thinks is hers because everytime i park there and all the other spaces are filled, she deliberately parks behind me so that i can't get out. You know, the long way so our cars kind of make an L shape. When this first happened, I was late for waork waiting for her boyfriend to come out and move it. There has been at least two other times where she has blocked me in, but i didn't bother her with moving, because of the childishness of her blocking me in and wanting "her" space. She has also blocked my boyfriend in at least once. She also takes up two parking spaces...parking on the white line so that no one can park in "her" space or the one next to it. It's really getting ridiculous! One guy she blocked in was visiting someone in the other apartments and he had to drive over the sidewalk and grass just to get out!. Anyway, tonight she has done it again.....parking behind me (because i'm of course in that spot she wants) and i can't get out. My daughter is with my mother tonight and when I work my mother watches her. You mean to tell me that I have to go and knock on her door in the middle of the night to have her m ove her car if something were to happen and i had to get out? what if i had an emergency?? I'm just really teed off. In the morning I plan on called the office andhave them look at this crazy display. Plus i have three pictures for proof because she has done this so many times. Two are of her blocking this guy in for two whole days (the pictures are time and date stamped) and one of when she took up two spaces. Someone please give me some advice as to what to do before I do something I may regret!

Who is in charge of the complex? In addition, isn't it unlawful to double park and couldn't she get towed if someone called the city agency that handles parking (might be the department of motor vehicles)?

there is an office on site that is in charge of the complex I reside in. And i'm not sure if she could get towed but i'm sure she probably could.
